  2. WpSystem folder

    I am planning on cloning my windows drive to a different hard drive. As i was clearing off the drive i am going to clone windows to, there was one folder which didn't move. It is the WpSystem folder. When i attempted to move it, it said "your organization
    does not allow you to place this file here." How do i move this folder to a different hard drive? If it isn't possible to move, can windows work without it? Thanks.

  3. Moving a file out of the WpSystem Folder

    I recently moved a file into the WpSystems folder on my D drive. I did not mean to put the file in the WpSystems folder and I am not really sure why that folder isn't hidden. Regardless, I now get "The security ID structure is invalid" when trying to move
    the file. I have tried copying it and sharing the file. I also do not have a restore point to go back to.

    Thanks for any help.

    Why did the wpsystem folder and windows apps folder in my D drive from nowhere

    Is deleting the WpSystem Folder Safe?

    Darrel is correct.

    but, can the wpsystem folder be moved into a subdirectory and still work with windows app store games?

    It seems the Windows App Store Storage can only be chosen between drives, but not subdirectories within those drives? that's not cool.
